Answer 1

66.

Land improvement = Paving cost + Lighting cost

= 30,000+15,000

= $45,000

Hence, $45,000 should be debited to land improvement.

Correct option is d.

88.

Annual depreciation expense = ( Cost of equipment - Salvage value)/Useful life

= (64,000-8,000)/10

= 56,000/10

= $5,600

Depreciation expense for 2008 = 5,600 x 9/12

= $4,200

Correct option is c.

89.

Double declining depreciation rate = 2 x 1/useful life

= 2 x 1/5

= 40%

Correct option is c.

90. The declining-balance method of depreciation produces a decreasing depreciation expense each period.

Correct option is a.

91.

Double declining depreciation rate = 2 x 1/useful life

= 2 x 1/5

= 40%

Depreciation expense for year 1 = 250,000 x 40%

= $100,000

Book value of equipment after year 1 = 250,000-100,000

= $150,000

Depreciation expense for year 2 = Book value of equipment after year 1 x Double declining depreciation rate

= 150,000 x 40%

= $60,000

Correct option is b.
